?“ Defend! We're going to contain LeBron James! He scored too many points in the third quarter! Hold him down! Hold him down! ”

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Mike Brown asked his players from the bench to hold on to James.

His outburst in the third quarter caught the Lakers off guard.

Fortunately, the Lakers did not collapse, whether it was defense or offense, they were very tenacious.

If you can't stand it, it's the same situation as the Celtics last year, and you can't play basketball anymore.

However, the difference of nine points is still very large.

Facing a defensive team like the Heat, it is more difficult to chase the difference of more than 5 points.

The Heat's defense is very targeted and generally doesn't allow opponents to attack in a row.

The Lakers have been stumbling on offense this game, and they have been relying on the experience of veteran players and the hard work of the team.

Li Liang listened to Brown's arrangement, wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, and said, "I'll defend him in the fourth quarter, one-on-one." ”

As soon as Li Liang said "one on one", his teammates all looked at him.

Brown said: "We'd better go with the trap strategy, you and Ron ......"

"The bag clip is not good!" Before Brown could finish speaking, Li Liang retorted.

"You can't wrap it, I'll get him one-on-one, no problem, trust me." Li Liang added.

One-on-one James?

If someone else says it, it must be a joke.

But Li Liang said that even if he is a rookie, he will give people the impression that he may really be able to do it.

Especially Mike Brown, he knows Li Liang and knows that this kid never amplifies words.

If you say it, you can do it.

Brown said that he had to wrap James as a last resort, and if he continued that feeling in the fourth quarter, he would really be killed.

And if it is trapped, with James's vision and ability to transfer the ball, it is estimated that he will be shot to death by the Heat's outside shooter.

Two glasses of poisoned wine, only one can be chosen.

Mike Brown thought he could only bet on the Heat's inaccurate outside shot.

But since Li Liang said that he could handle it, of course he believed him.

"OK, I'll take care of it, you say you're going to do it!" Brown said loudly.

At this time, the buzzer sounded at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the referee prompted the players of both sides to re-enter the game.

Kobe Bryant and Nash will not rest, and in the fourth quarter, the Lakers will not give up so easily.

The two sides re-entered the field, and at this time the Lakers used the most offensive lineup, Gasol played power forward, and Li Liang played against James at the small forward position.

James played the third quarter and stayed on the court in the fourth, and he didn't rest.

This game is really unaffordable for the Heat, and if they lose 0:2 at home, they really can't turn it over.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the ball was in the hands of the Heat.

James controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Li Liang defended James one-on-one.

Li Liang knew that James would never be allowed to score continuously in the fourth quarter, and he had to defend against this first shot.

James' style, if he misses a shot, especially if he doesn't feel good about shooting, he will stop the attack, try to move the ball, and organize the offense.

Therefore, Li Liang must defend the first attempted attack.

"[Golden Shield]!"

Li Liang finally used this unfinished golden shield, even if it consumed thousands of anger points per minute, it didn't matter.

Now is the time to use her.

"15% improvement in defensive ability!"

With a 15% increase, Li Liang's [Basic Defensive Ability on the Outside] suddenly increased from 81 to 93 points!

Follow-up defense, sticking defense, and steals have all been upgraded to a notch.

Li Liang felt that there was a golden light shining on his body, like a Super Saiyan, of course, it was just an illusion given to him by the system.

But it is not an illusion that his movements have become quicker, his eyes have become faster and sharper, and his steps have become more solid.

Originally, Li Liang put James in two steps to defend, but after activating the shield, he suddenly met him, leaned close to James with his body, and began to fight.

James was a little surprised by Li Liang's sudden forward attack, and he immediately sideways to protect the ball.

Li Liang began to defend James in an all-round, close-fitting manner without dead ends.

Van Gundy, who was the on-site commentator, saw this scene and bluntly said that he seemed to have seen Scott Pippen's successful defense against Magic Johnson in the second game in 1991.

It's exactly the same, it's all this kind of close confrontation, and the hands and feet are completely clean outside line pressing.

James tried to use his strength to push Li Liang away and turn around, but found that Li Liang's body was well controlled and did not move like a mountain.

Li Liang pressed tighter and tighter, and James couldn't easily get rid of it because he lost the first move.

So he had to share the ball with Wade, who came over to pick it up, and then ran out of the three-point line empty-handed and distanced himself from Li Liang.

Then re-catch the ball, the moment you catch the ball, you directly break through the middle with your right hand!

Li Liang followed closely, and Howard in the middle did not come to help defend, and he stared at Bosh.

In this game, Bosh has already seized several open opportunities to score.

After James accelerated, he smashed into the interior like a tank, but Li Liang did not follow, but maintained his physical confrontation.

James made a layup, and at this time, Kobe Bryant came from the wing to make up for the defense, and intercepted James in the air with Li Liang!

James' layup misses!

The referee didn't blow for a foul!

Li Liang won the backcourt rebound, handed the ball to Nash, and the Lakers counterattacked!

The Heat's retreat was very fast, Nash slowed down, Li Liang gave Nash a high cover, and then quickly retreated to 45 degrees.

For Fang Liliang's three points, the Heat's defense line was torn apart.

Nash smashed in from the middle, a ground-hitting pass, Howard in the middle followed up, and after receiving the ball, he won the one-handed split!

7 points, the difference was narrowed to 7 points.

At 74:81, the Lakers completed a successful defense.

James felt that Li Liang's defense seemed to be different than usual.

It seemed to be difficult to get rid of him, and the close distraction he had just made James very uncomfortable.

His movements wander on the edge of foul and non-foul, and in a confrontation of this level in the finals, the referee will not easily blow a foul.

James also wants to try an offense.

He handed the ball to Wade and then dropped to the low post and Wade passed the ball to James.

is still a one-on-one single defense, Li Liang stuck James behind him, and his low-post defense rose by 6 points, not much.

But James' low-post skills aren't historic.

In this case, Li Liang suddenly used [Death Coil]!

James felt a chill in his back, his body seemed to be entangled in something, and his muscles stiffened for 0.1 seconds.

0.1 seconds later, James reacted and passed the ball to the perimeter.

Li Liang's break was unsuccessful, and only James could avoid Li Liang's skills.

But James' low-post offense was disrupted, and in the end, Wade took the ball and sprinted inside, missing a toss from his right hand.

Howard grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and Nash took the ball and pushed it back.

The Lakers were fully running, with Bryant rushing forward and Nash making a bold long pass through the half.

The ball went past Wade and Chalmers, and Bryant jumped up in the air to catch the ball, then turned and passed to Gasol, who was following behind.

Gasol took the ball and went straight to the basket and scored a layup with his right hand!

In the end, the Lakers all hit the inside line and scored in the safest, safest, and most foolproof way.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Spo immediately called a timeout with a difference of 5 points.

5 points is a hurdle that must not be broken.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' chasing points was too fierce and had to be slowed down.
